Chapter 16:
"Draco…" Harry whined, "Please can we keep it?"
"No. I'm going to drown the little pest before it tells McGonagall anything which I want private"
But he's so… he's you!" Harry sulked on full blast. He looked at the little cat snuggled in his arms.
"So? Even more reason to stop him talking!"
"He… Draco… I don't think that he is a he…" said Harry suddenly confused, looking at the affectionate cat.
"Of course he is a he! He's me, isn't he?" snapped Draco.
"How do you check?"
"Using a gender tracking charm, obviously!" replied Draco, annoyed at the apparent stupidity of the Saviour of the Wizarding world. He pointed his wand at the cat and muttered a charm under his breath. Why does Draco learn such random spells? A grey mist flew out of his wand and surrounded the cat. It floated up and formed a smoke ring. Draco was about to comment on it when a cross appeared at the bottom of it. Harry burst into a fit of giggles; Draco's mind is a little cute sex kitten!!!!! Draco swore and pointed his wand to Harry. The cross disappeared, and an arrow shot through the circle to the top right corner.
"You doubted me?" asked Harry.
"With that noise you're making, I had every right to!"
"Can we keep her?"
"N…"
"Please?"
"Fine!" Harry can be as stubborn as a bloody rock! He never gives up! "But you're taking care of him!"
Harry's eyes sparkled and he grinned idiotically. "Thanks." He leaned in and kissed Draco, "I'll call her Cai."
"What kind of name is that?" asked Draco annoyed.
"A cute one, I like it. Shush, you'll wake up Cai!" replied Harry in a mock baby voice.
"Shove off, bloody Gryffindor!" Draco muttered affectionately.

Harry bounded up the Gryffindor tower ecstatically with the cat snuggled in his robes. He went carefully through the common room willing people to stay away. As he reached Hecate however, Seamus came out of the picture opposite her. "Hey Harry, what have you been up to?" asked the fair haired Irish boy.
"Nothing much" replied Harry hastily, wanting to get into his room before mini-Draco woke up.
But the other boy wasn't stupid; and unless Harry had miraculously become a girl, he was hiding something in his cloak. Ever the tactful one, he walked closer to Harry and asked, "Wat'cha hiding?" Harry squirmed, but knowing Seamus, he'd have to tell him to shut him up. He pushed him into his room annoyed at the smirking goddess' picture. She was very excited about what was happening at Circe's. She grilled Harry constantly when he was in his room, but he stayed resolutely silent. Harry came in and shut the door. He took off his cloak and displayed the kitten hidden in his jumper. Seamus looked at it critically, "This is the secret our Boy Wonder here was willing to risk his reputation for?" Harry blushed but stayed silent. "Whose is it anyway?" the Irish boy asked.
"She's mine, all mine…" said Harry, not particularly thinking about the cat.
"Where d'you get it? Was it from your girlfriend?"
"No Seamus," I have to come clean sooner or later… "I don't have a girlfriend."
"You've been snogging someone quite a lot lately, are you telling me you aren't friends?"
"No, we're friends, actually we're not, but it isn't like that," Harry's voice fell to a whisper, "It's not a girl."
Seamus took it surprisingly well; he sat down on the bed, absentmindedly stroking the cat which was asleep there. A smile appeared on his face, "That's great mate, who's the lucky guy?"
"I'm not sure I can confess it yet, I may wake up!" replied Harry, relieved.
The Irish boy laughed, "Ah go on, you can tell me…"
"Can I?"
"Sure, and I'm better than Ron, because I won't explode and attack him!"
"True," Harry inwardly laughed at Seamus' prediction; he was worried that Seamus would do the same.
Seamus was unrelenting though, "Go on, give me a clue at least!"
"Um… he's athletic, plays Quidditch…"
"Ok, team players… got it."
"He's well built…"
"Most are, being sporty and all that, but go on." Seamus was compiling a list of all the houses team players and systematically crossing them off. He already had the girls off, the list was quite small. Bloody hell! He's thorough!
"I don't know what else to say!"
"Wait," asked Seamus, looking at his list, "he must have been rich and stupid enough to buy you a broom that good!" he crossed off most of the Ravenclaws and half of the Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs. The Slytherin team stayed solid however.
"He's not stupid!" butted in Harry, "It's just not fun without competition!"
"Aha! It's a seeker!!!" shouted Seamus; he was just a step away from shouting "Eureka!" when he saw the two names left; Ravenclaw's Alex Whitcroft and Slytherin's Draco Malfoy. He looked at Alex; whose delectable body was lusted after by guys and girls alike. Alex was the Ravenclaw that Draco had on his (and so everyone with taste's) top three guys list, along with Harry and himself. Unknown to Harry however, Draco had been there, and done that, but didn't regret the parting.
At last Seamus seemed happy, putting a ring around Alex's name. He was awed that Harry could have such a catch, but considering the prodigious underground gay / bi community's top three males list, it was inevitable that two of the three would end up together. But something didn't fit; and Seamus wanted to be sure. "Harry," he asked, "what broom does Whitcroft have on the pitch?"
Harry answered automatically, "a nimbus 5000," but then he gasped in horror as the relevance of the question hit him. Seamus was amazed, if a little annoyed at his two favourite males were taken off the market. "Not him, not Dra-, Malfoy!"
"Then why would Whitcroft buy you a better broom then he has himself? If I remember correctly, Slytherin's finest owns a Stratostar." Seamus smirked at Harry's face, which was rapidly becoming a tomato. I am going to have to learn how to stop blushing. Draco can, why can't I? Or does he just not get embarrassed?
"Don't tell anyone, yet."
"Secret's safe with me, mate."
"Thanks."
"So, why d'he give you a cat?"
"It's him, the goo changed into that, and it's a girl!"
"Aw, who'd have thought? Draco's thoughts are the same kind as a female kitten! And he gave it to you to remind you of him! Aw; how sweet."
"No, I grabbed it off him before he killed it."
"He wouldn't have killed it; it is a representation of himself. I think there is a law of magic about killing your own image, it's linked to infanticide, it's impossible."
"Oh," Harry breathed a sigh of relief.
Seamus was gazing wistfully at him, "Cheer up you! The sexiest Slytherin, king of the broody dark ones, is yours! This is a time to rejoice! Think of what you could do with him!" his words had an effect on Harry; whose eyes became glazed and had a smile playing on his lips. "What will it be like playing against him?
"I don't know." said Harry thoughtfully, before breaking out into a stream of swearing. "I'm going to find out in fifteen minutes!"
